Makes me sick and worried what my little grandchildren are going to have to deal
with. I really worry about my little four year old who thinks that she is a
princess and is already exposed maybe to things that are going to influence her.
I pray everyday that I can help her see her self worth and that she is very
loved. To me this is what is going on with Miley and these other girls who think
that this is what people want. They have no self-esteem and mix that with money
and no morals then you have what people witnessed last night. Sad that our world
is going down the toilet like this. Very Very sad indeed.

She was so disgusting. And she has no talent. So wrong on many levels. But,
the most unfortunate thing is Miley Cyrus's disgusting performance is
hogging the media. At the same MTV Award Show, Justin Timberlake performed one
of the best performances of our time. Now this guy is a true talent and we
should be talking about him.

What is it about little girls that become celebs, to then become completely
screwed up young adults? To make it worse their parents, in many cases, follow
suit? Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen twins, the list goes on and on. You make a
fortune for your parents to fight over, but you lose your soul in the process.
Oh, of course she knew her "act" was going to make people crazy, and
that was the point to attack an older market moving from the pre-teens to the
19-25 yr olds who could care less if she does something obscene. I'm sure
she and her team are thrilled to get so much ink, she's no longer a minor
child celeb, that's all over and it doesn't matter if she has a fair
to mediocre voice, she told adults and the media to kiss off, making her a hero
to her target audience. The more column inches she gets, mentions on TV news,
her fans just become that more enamored with her buying anything with her name
on it. Ignore her, and she goes away into obscurity.

It happened on MTV... no big shocker, they've been doing this since
inception. MTV should not be allowed within 200 yards of any teen. I know when I
was an overly hormonal teen and wanted to watch something illicit, that's
where I'd turn the tv tuner. It's a known quantity.

If
this had been some more risque' singer like Lady Gaga, we would've all
relegated it to business as usual. Many child stars have started out innocent
and gone trampy. Janet Jackson, Brittany Spears, now Miley Cyrus--part of the
reason this happens is because once you get to be a woman in entertainment at a
certain age, you no longer can appeal to younger more innocent audiences. So
they try to remain relevant by doing something more mature, only to discover the
audiences don't like change.

Honestly I think the dupes are
those that believed that a person was the role they played once upon a time. Why
do we give actors and actresses so much power over us? When will we turn our
gaze away from this meaningless box of shadows?

From an ascetic point of view the act wasn't even well done.It was
simply gyrating...followed by high-step marching around the front of the
stage...followed by more gyrating. She did manage to avoid head-on crashes with
the bears, but that is the extent of it. Had she been a 3-year-old in a
dance class I would have suggested to the parents that they try the piano.

Why do so many girls in show business think the way to show the world
they're not a little girl anymore is to behave provocatively? There are
more mature ways to show your audience that you've become a young woman.

I have stated
before that I have lived long enough to have observed much of life. The EXTREME
spiral down of morality is heart stopping. The ONLY aspect of life that I see
that isn't obviously affected is religion(for the MOST part). I
haven't, nor will I, watch this much public display of yesteryear's
private strip club lewd garbage...

In the late 1980's everyone was worried about the effect of AIDS. A
sexually transmitted disease that we don't know how to control, spreading
all over the world, millions might die, etc. MTV kept pushing sex in the videos
they showed. At one point, Kiss came out with a video titled, "Put the XXX
back in Sex". Immediately thereafter there was a commercial for a Mars
candy bar. I didn't buy Mars candy bars for 20 years.

It's not surprising that this happened, but our societal standards have
fallen so far, it amazes me. I occasionally watch the Disney affiliate
ABCFamily and some of the show that are advertised on there are the worst. I
would not call them Family shows.

It is
actually quit comforting to see the level of condemnation her performance has
received across the board.... from just about every publication out there.
We've all seen this act before... from Madonna, to Britney, Lady Gaga to
now the latest performer trying to trade on something other than their talent.
But even Madonna eventually cleaned up her act. She keeps heading down this
road - her career will be a short lived as her dads... because what she is
selling is hardly anything unique.

The irony in all this is that there are many who express outrage or disapproval
of Myley, but are the first to defend abortion. As if there is no connection
between what is being seen on T.V. and in the movies and sexual immorality or
abortion. Democrats, figure it out!

I had no problem with her performance - I did not watch it which is what
everyone else who has a problem with the performance should seriously consider
doing instead of endlessly writing about it in these columns - turn off the TV!
No audience - no performance!
